QA Engineer – Manual Testing (0–2 Yrs)

Role Overview

Efficienza is looking for a motivated junior QA Engineer to join a team building enterprise web application. This is a foundational role designed for candidates who are early in their testing career and ready to develop structured, professional QA skills in a real product environment.

You will write test cases, execute manual test cycles, log and track defects, and validate product behavior against requirements. Over time, you will build working knowledge of API testing and basic automation tooling. The expectation is not depth on day one, but genuine curiosity, discipline, and a consistent improvement mindset.

You Will Excel If You

• Approach quality from the user's perspective and understand the intended product behavior
• Write clear, structured, and precise test cases and bug reports
• Pay attention to detail and identify inconsistencies, edge cases, and workflow gaps early
• Clarify ambiguous requirements instead of proceeding on assumptions
• Take ownership of assigned modules and follow through consistently with minimal supervision
  
  

Key Responsibilities

Manual Testing and Test Execution

• Execute test cases across assigned product features, following defined test plans and acceptance criteria
• Perform functional testing to verify that features behave as specified across web interfaces
• Validate UI layout, content, and interactions against Figma designs and product specifications
• Perform exploratory testing within defined scope to surface issues that structured scripts may not cover
• Reproduce reported bugs consistently and document them with sufficient detail for developers to investigate
  
  

Test Case Writing

• Write structured test cases with clear preconditions, execution steps, expected outcomes, and validation criteria
• Organize test coverage by feature, workflow, and business priority for easier maintenance across releases
• Review acceptance criteria early and identify missing scenarios, ambiguities, or untestable conditions before development begins
• Update and maintain test cases as features evolve to keep coverage aligned with current product behavior
• Collaborate with senior QA members to improve test quality, coverage depth, and testing approach over time
  
  

Defect Reporting and Tracking

• Report defects with clear reproduction steps, screenshots, severity, environment details, and expected versus actual behavior
• Re-test bug fixes thoroughly and validate related workflows for regression impact
• Communicate defect status, blockers, and release risks clearly during sprint discussions and reviews
• Maintain accurate defect tracking and status updates throughout the sprint lifecycle
  
  

Regression Support

• Execute assigned regression scenarios before releases based on defined regression scope
• Report failures quickly with sufficient evidence for efficient triage and resolution
• Understand regression priorities based on feature impact and critical workflows
• Help maintain and improve regression coverage as features and workflows evolve
  
  

API Testing and Tool Familiarization

• Perform basic API validation using Postman by testing requests, responses, status codes, and payload behavior
• Use browser DevTools to inspect network activity, console errors, API responses, and UI states during testing
• Work with JIRA or similar tools for bug tracking, sprint management, and QA reporting
• Gain exposure to CI/CD-based test execution and understand how automated checks support release quality
  
  

Collaboration and Communication

• Participate actively in sprint planning, standups, reviews, and retrospectives
• Raise blockers, unclear requirements, and testing concerns early in the sprint cycle
• Collaborate closely with developers to reproduce, validate, and resolve issues efficiently
• Contribute to QA documentation and maintain strong documentation practices across testing activities
  
  

Required Technical Knowledge

Area Proficiency Details Manual Testing Foundation Test case execution, functional testing, bug reporting, exploratory testing Test Case Writing Core Skill Structured format, preconditions, steps, expected results, coverage thinking Defect Reporting Core Skill JIRA or equivalent, clear reproduction steps, severity classification Browser DevTools Basic Exposure Network tab, console errors, element inspection for debugging suppor API Testing Basics Learning Stage Postman: sending requests, reading responses, verifying status codes JIRA / Test Mgmt. Basic Proficiency Bug logging, test progress tracking, sprint board hygiene Agile / Scrum Awareness Sprint ceremonies, acceptance criteria review, definition of done Documentation Developing Test cases, defect logs, coverage summaries, process notes

Good to Have

• Exposure to manual testing through internships, academic projects, freelance work, or personal practice
• Basic understanding of how web applications work, including requests, responses, forms, sessions, and application state
• Familiarity with Playwright or Cypress through coursework, self-learning, or practical exposure
• Basic SQL knowledge for validating backend data alongside frontend workflows
• Awareness of accessibility and usability principles for modern web applications
• Completion of QA certifications or structured software testing courses is a plus
  
  

Key Deliverables

• Structured and maintainable test cases across assigned product areas
• Clear, reproducible defect reports with sufficient debugging detail for developers
• Accurate execution and reporting of assigned testing cycles within sprint timelines
• Reliable regression testing with documented coverage and test outcomes
• Continuous improvement in test coverage quality, documentation standards, and QA practices
  
  

What Success Looks Like

• Within the first month, you independently write structured test cases and report defects with clear reproduction details
• Within the first three months, you actively participate in sprint testing, execute reliable regression coverage, and identify issues early in the release cycle
• You consistently identify meaningful product issues before they reach production
• Your test documentation and defect tracking remain accurate, organized, and up to date
• You gradually build confidence with tools such as Postman, DevTools, and basic automation workflows as part of daily QA activities
